he does though - years back when I was attending confirmation classes at the vicarage he finished up one evening saying he was supposed to be going somewhere or other and didn't really want to go so would ring up and say he was ill!!!! he's also chaplain for our local psychiatric hospital and when we had our Christmas service, the chaplains from the other hospitals around came too - he always referred to the one from the University Hospital of Wales as Fatty!!! :-D

true Cynthia, very true - mine tells fibs

A lot of them are, Ann.........a lot of them are....... ;-)

sounds a bit of a raver your vicar :-D

I entertained a few lovely friends in my garden to-day with a cream tea and there was a lot of laughter. I told them about my experience walking past the vicarage opposite us last week and seeing the vicar's recycling bin outside and how I was amazed to see it was full to the brim with wine bottles. Doing a double take I went back and saw that most of the bottles were 'ALTAR WINE' Medium, Produce of France, bottled for Francis Tucker, 15% vol. (Guaranteed by ecclesiastical certificate.)

Deleted my next comment for fear it may offend, but 15% vol was mentioned!!

Anyway, I crept back when it was dark and pinched an empty bottle of 'ALTAR WINE' to show 'im indoors, (who was quietly quaffing a pint or more of golden liquid, but that's by the by.) However, I forgot to say that when I went over there, a lid had been placed firmly on the recycling box (was the vicar watching me earlier I ask myself?) but also, there was another recycling box next to it full of Becks empty beer bottles, also with the lid on.)

What is going on at the vicarage - why haven't I been invited to the party?

:-D :-D :-D

I did leave a little for the other guests

Cynthia - the idea was provided by a most sage person.

eRRol.......love the format of your new name..... :-D

I once knew a girl with peachy doughnuts.

I am attending a rather posh formal afternoon tea garden party on Thursday. I will let you know what the food is like.

I don't think anyone there would dare to be brave enough to call me an "oldie" . How very rude!


Edit. Sainsbury's also have Donut peaches.

hmm - I've done the three score years plus ten and quite a few more and would be moritifed if I heard anyone call me an oldie

I would like to know what an "Oldie" is? Is it someone over 60 or maybe 50???

I don't think I would like to be classed as one, still in my prime me :-D

we've had donut peaches here in Cardiff for a few years now and last week I bought donut nectarines and they were every bit as good as the peaches

Asda and Teco both do the flat peaches

Tea Paries at the village vicarage serve cue sarnies and fairy cakes,

now some upbeat garden parties cater for many tastes due to variety of guests.

Walked past a bowling green over the weekend,,,,

spectator dress ,those of a certain age,elderly.old or oldies.

men----straw hat, short sleeved shirt,khaki type shorts,3/4 or ankle socks and jesus type sandles,,,,,,,,so some things dont change,in my youth though men usually wore a linen jacket,staw hat or panama type,linen trousers and open neck white shirt,,,,,,ladies always wore a hat when watching bowling in their stone or white summer sandles.plus a flowered dress.




:-D

Well Renes for once - flat peaches is what I know them as and Tesco says so - Ta for that - can I blow my own trumpet now ;-) ;-) <3

Last time I was at the Palace, I was told I must be Royal, as I looked so demure, oh by the way, I was served cucumber sandwiches by the Butler, followed by jellied eels, then jam roly poly and custard, thought I'd chuck that in.

I know how to live, all my friends tell me what fantastic company I am, mind you I have got such terrific manners I can go anywhere me :-D

Flat peaches (doughnut peaches) have been out a couple of years now in Gloucester.
